    Cooke’s hit on Savard reignites endless firestorm on respect, safety

    “He falls; he concusses” seems well on its way to becoming a phrase as synonymous with NHL hockey as “he shoots; he scores”.  Yesterday afternoon, late in the Penguins’ 2-1 victory over visiting Boston, Pittsburgh left wing Matt Cooke lifted his left elbow or forearm just enough to deliver a check to Boston forward Marc Savard as [...]

    Going into last night’s game against the Anaheim Ducks, there’s no way Habs fans couldn’t be happy with the previous three games their team had faced on the road.

    Predators Give Away A Game And Two Vital Points to Vancouver

    Going in to the third period with a 2-1 lead over the Vancouver Canucks, the Predators needed to keep playing the way they had played through two periods: keep pressuring the Canucks in the zone and play solid defense. Unfortunately, the Predators did neither in the third period and dropped a 4-2 decision.
    Alexander Edler gave [...]

    Last year the Bruins were known for their team toughness, mess with one of them and be prepared to put yourself in the crosshairs of everyone in Black and Gold.  Need an example?? Ask Steve [...]

    Wings For Brunch After Hawks Feast On Canucks

    On Friday night, for the first time in it what seemed like a few months the Blackhawks wave attack was in full force. They put “pretty” away and overwhelmed the Canucks in the opening 20 minutes. When the dust settled the Hawks put a five spot on Roberto Luongo and the game was never in [...]

    Black and Gold ramblings of the wounded fan…

    It wasn’t all that long ago that the Garden (TD Bank, or TD Bank North, or whatever the heck the name of the week was at the time) stood half-empty with uninspired, mostly bitter Bruins observers – sprinkled with the “die hard” fan.  The team had been gutted by management following the lock-out and the [...]

    Wings Whip the Predators 5-2

    In their game the previous night against the L.A. Kings, the Nashville Predators did the little things that led to a victory. They controlled play in the neutral zone and forechecked aggressively. In their game against the Detroit Red Wings tonight, they did very little right and paid for it with a 5-2 loss.

    Lapierre Suspended Four Games

    The National Hockey League has suspended Montreal Canadiens forward Maxime Lapierre for four games for hitting San Jose forward Scott Nichol early in the third period during last night’s game. While no penalty was assessed on the hit itself in-game, the hit was late and unnecessary, as Nichol had already followed through with the hit.
    While [...]

    Several players, preferring to stay anonymous had a few things to say over the goalie glut on Long Island.

    Scott Nichol is usually the driving force behind the San Jose Sharks’ energy and physical play. In another game where the Sharks came out a little sluggish, it was an injury to Nichol in the third period that sparked a comeback. After falling behind by a goal twice, the Sharks were able to tie the [...]
